I agree.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is useful for testing, but you'll probably want
to avoid it otherwise.  That means either installing the more recent
version of libpq in the regular place, or linking statically (or just
using the older libpq, of course, but I'll assume you don't want to do
that).

One way to link to libpq statically that I think should work is just to
include the filename of libpq.a (including its full path!) in the command
line that links your program, i.e. use libpq.a as if it were a regular
object file.
